106: Upon seeing Qin Changsheng, the Holy Embryo of Heaven and Earth in the Eternal Otherworld

Deep within the Imperial City.

Qin Tian felt the surroundings flickering with streaming light, making it impossible to open his eyes.

As the rainbow light dissipated, he finally regained his footing.

He looked around.

A quiet lake surface was particularly eye-catching.

The shore was lush and green, planted with nothing but ordinary grass, no different from an ordinary lakeside in the mortal world.

“Do you know how to fish?”

A youthful voice rang in his ear, exactly the same as the voice in his mind from not long ago.

He looked toward the source of the sound.

A handsome young man sat on the shore, holding a fishing rod, with a bamboo leaf held between his lips.

There wasn't a trace of senescence on the youth's face; instead, he was full of vigor, with extremely vibrant vitality.

Had he not known beforehand, Qin Tian would never have guessed that he was an old fellow who had lived for an unknown number of tens of thousands of years.

“Senior, I know a little.”

“They usually call me Longevity Ancestor, but I don't really like it.” Qin Longevity smiled, “What 'Ancestor'? Where do I look old?”

“Sit, accompany me in fishing for a while.”

Qin Tian stepped forward, picked up a fishing rod, and sat beside Qin Longevity.

“The Qin Family has existed since ancient times; people of all kinds have come and gone, a mix of good and bad.”

“Some view the alien races as mortal enemies and wish to kill them to their heart's content, some use the alien races as tools to satisfy their own ambitions, and some are forced by pressure to fight against them...”

“Regardless of the reason, more or less, everyone has slain some alien lifeforms.”

“If you want this matter to truly be put behind you, you still need sufficiently dazzling war merit. Do you understand?”

Before his voice could fade, Qin Longevity jerked his fishing rod... and then, he pulled up a clump of water weeds... “I understand what Senior means.”

As Qin Tian spoke, he suddenly felt a weight in his hand and hooked upward with the momentum.

A silver-scaled fish leaped up and landed in Qin Tian's hand.

Qin Longevity paused slightly.

“For the time being, do not let others know of your life story, not even Little Yu.”

Qin Tian paused, “Senior indeed knows everything.”

“I only just found out as well.” Qin Longevity smiled, “With the Old Ancestor helping you hide it, you can set your mind at ease. In the entire Imperial City, as long as you and your Revered Master do not speak of it, no one else will know.”

“The Old Ancestor...?” Qin Tian was slightly surprised.

At the same time, the fishing rod in his hand sank again. A golden-scaled fish flickered and fell into his hand, its tail flapping incessantly.

Qin Longevity looked at that golden light and opened his mouth.

“As the name implies, the oldest one still alive in the Qin Family...”

Qin Tian was stunned.

Since the Qin Family's Old Ancestor knew about his life story, then he presumably might also know about his mother.

“I once captured an alien in Great Qian. According to her, the alien race is looking for my mother. Does Senior know the reason?”

Qin Longevity nodded, “Even if you didn't ask, I would have told you.”

“Actually, I also just learned this from the Old Ancestor's mouth.”

“Your parents once went to the Eternal Foreign Realm and brought back something extremely important to them.”

“What is it?”

Qin Longevity paused for a moment.

“The heaven and earth sacred fetus of the Eternal Foreign Realm!”

“Sacred Fetus?” Qin Tian was astonished and looked at Qin Longevity in confusion.

“Don't look at me, I haven't seen it either.”

“Where is that Sacred Fetus now?”

“According to the Old Ancestor, it is still in your mother's hands.”

Qin Tian realized.

It seemed the alien race's grand movements were all to find this heaven and earth sacred fetus; that Yan Clan Bitter Demon of the Creation Realm probably came for this as well.

Only... “Why didn't the Old Ancestor keep the heaven and earth sacred fetus in the Imperial City?”

Qin Longevity shook his head, “The Old Ancestor only said that the state of the heaven and earth sacred fetus was very special at the time, and it could only stay by your mother's side.”

“Later, Little Zhan died, and your mother, overwhelmed with grief, left with the heaven and earth sacred fetus...”

Qin Tian nodded slowly.

As for where this heaven and earth sacred fetus actually was, he would likely have to wait until the next time he saw his mother to find out.

“As for your father's death, the Old Ancestor also tried to investigate, but found no clues.” Qin Longevity sighed, “It must have been an extremely powerful existence that erased all traces.”

Qin Tian knew that since it involved a supreme treasure of the Eternal Foreign Realm, things would certainly not be that simple.

While he was thinking, his hand felt another weight.

He hooked gently, and a rainbow-scaled fish fell into his hand.

In just this short while, this was already the third one... Qin Longevity's eyes twitched slightly, and he finally couldn't help but speak.

“You... how are you fishing?”

“Huh?”

Qin Tian was truly stunned for a moment.

Isn't this change of topic a bit fast?

“Senior, you just cast and hook, and the fish comes up...”

Qin Longevity: “...”

Qin Tian was curious.

Could it be that this famous Tenth Ancestor of the Qin Family was a Revered Master of catching nothing?

Looking at his expression, yes, it must be so.

Qin Tian quickly put the fish back into the lake, pretending he hadn't caught anything.

Qin Longevity coughed twice.

“Forget it, forget it. I'm tired today, you should go now.”

Saying this, without waiting for Qin Tian to object, he waved his hand and sent him out of the Small World.

Afterward, Qin Longevity quickly sat in Qin Tian's spot, picked up his fishing rod, and murmured:

“It's been six thousand years without catching a single one. This time, by borrowing a bit of luck, I should finally be able to catch one... right?”

Outside the Small World, Qin Tian couldn't help but mutter in his heart.

“It's just catching nothing, is it that big a deal...”

“One more thing, a Genius has appeared in the Eternal Foreign Realm, seemingly called Xuan Xiao. His cultivation method is special; if you meet him, kill him if possible.”

Qin Longevity's voice rang out again.

Qin Tian's eyes instantly lit up!

“Xuan Xiao!”

He finally heard these two words!

“Rest assured, Senior, I will definitely give this Xuan Xiao a 'warm' welcome...”

Jie jie jie!

He was already getting impatient!

...In the Imperial City, the crowd still hadn't dispersed.

Until Qin Tian appeared unscathed, everyone swarmed forward.

“Senior Brother!”

“Waaaah!”

“I thought you were going to be finished by the Qin Family...”

Bai Xiyin pounced straight over and hugged Qin Tian tightly.

Xue Yi's hand, which she had just raised, instantly froze.

Her gaze kept wandering over Bai Xiyin.

“Fourth Junior Sister, what do you mean 'finished'? Can't you say something nice?”

“I was just worried about Senior Brother!”

Bai Xiyin looked up, her jewel-like eyes flickering with anticipation, “Senior Brother, I was a bit scared just now. Can you stay and keep me company?”

Just as Qin Tian was about to speak, a familiar voice suddenly came from the sky.

“Sen—!”

“—ior Bro—ther!!!”

Bai Xiyin's eyes instantly darkened.

Qin Tian looked up; that tiny body waving frantically in mid-air, who else could it be but Su Ningying?

Su Ningying sat on spiritual wood and charged down at high speed.

She pulled Bai Xiyin away in one go and then jumped into Qin Tian's arms.

Bai Xiyin: !!!

Xue Yi: ...How is there another one?

Zhi zhi.

Little Purple jumped directly onto Qin Tian's shoulder and rubbed against him affectionately.

“Second! Junior! Sister!”

“So many people are watching, have you no shame!”

Su Ningying didn't care, “So what? The one I'm hugging is my Senior Brother, not someone else.”

Qin Tian couldn't help but smile.

“Second Junior Sister, where have you been all this time?”

Hearing this, Su Ningying's lips pursed, “Senior Brother, come with me. I want to introduce someone to you.”

Qin Tian: “?”

As she spoke, Su Ningying looked up toward the sky, “Great-Great-Grandmother, come down quickly!”

“This is my Senior Brother!”

“Great-Great... Grandmother...?” Qin Tian was stunned for a moment.

The rhythm of life vibrated incessantly in mid-air, and a figure stepped out slowly.

Her green and white garments were adorned with willow branches.

The endless aura of life complemented her exquisite figure.

The crowd instantly cried out in alarm:

“This is...”

“Senior Qiong Zhi...!!”

...
